Default Nutrazu..Mazuri..Exotic leaf eater.

Have I got this correct please?

Is Nutrazu the same as the U.S Mazuri?

Mazuri that you can buy in the U.k is not like the U.S Mazuri but is called Exotic Leaf Eater?

Also is the Mazuri U.S better than the Mazuri you buy in the U.k

Bit confused, as per usual, lol

Mazuri US is the same as NutraZu

Mazuri Exotic Leaf Eater is different.

Reading the contents list, NutraZu (Mazuri US) seems slightly better than Mazuri Exotic Leaf Eater

Hi, I'm new to the site so working my way around it!!! I have 2 young sulcatas and have been feeding them mazuri soaked 3 times a week which they totally love, also giving them any weeds ie dandelion, plantain, that I can find at the moment with romaine lettuce watercress butternut squash grated carrot a few times a week. They also have Timothy hay and readigrass in their home to nibble on. Does anyone else feed there's Mazuri as I've just read its not so good after all and not sure what to give instead ?
Many thanks
Sarah. (Devon Uk)
